Lyrics
[verse]
Chained to the floor where the echoes collect
Every word that they threw left a mark on my neck
I stood in the fire while they laughed from the wall
Now I'm rising up taller, I won't fall
[chorus]
I am here to stay, carved out of the wreckage
Not a whisper, not a ghost, no more leverage
You can push, you can shove, you can bury the name
I'm still standing here to stay, through the shame
[verse]
Counted every scar like a map of the war
Every door that you slammed only opened one more
Underneath the weight I found something that's mine
A voice that won't break, a fire that won't die
[chorus]
I am here to stay, carved out of the wreckage
Not a whisper, not a ghost, no more leverage
You can push, you can shove, you can bury the name
I'm still standing here to stay, through the shame
[bridge]
Break me down, break me down
I keep building higher off this broken ground
Say my name, say it loud
I was never gonna disappear in the crowd
[chorus]
I am here to stay, carved out of the wreckage
Not a whisper, not a ghost, no more leverage
You can push, you can shove, you can bury the name
I'm still standing here to stay, through the shame
